Sonic 1 - Spring Yard Zone - Oscilloscope Deconstruction

[@michaelb.2662]

The bells at 1:01 is the same sound that was used for the rings

[@dspangs]

DEEPEST LORE

[@DJNeoncat]

Never knew, that was a standalone instrument.

[@huurra14]

and talking about rings, I really think that sound hasn't changed at all, I always hearing it being exact same in every game.

[@luxiaaQ]

@@huurra14 It has been slightly changed in the Modern games. It has like a sprinkle sound now.

[@spicybreadproductions1972]

Yes. What, you people thought the rings used the fricking DAC?

[@jtg55]

With the just the DAC and Channel 1, it sounds like slow jazz, but then the PSG 3 kicks in and gives it a higher new jack swing tempo. And this is why I fell in love with Spring Yard Zone and I still regard it as my favorite Sonic 1 track (sorry-not-sorry Green Hill).

[@ksager123]

Agreed. This is most people's favorite

[@TheVoidMachineSystem]

My personal favorite is star light zone

[@TheRogueMaverick]

For me, it’s Labyrinth Zone. I really like the sound of the lead channel. It all sounds mysterious yet treacherous to me.

[@transformer4187]

My favorite is Flying Battery zone act 1 and act 2. It’s super catchy and is just amazing.

[@spicybreadproductions1972]

If only the level didn't have the moving blocks, it could've outlasted Green Hill in memorability

[@zac.t3975]

Spring yard is officially the best theme in sonic 1,every single instrument is equally Perfect in every way

[@wrench9529]

Now this is just MY opinion. I think marble zone is the best

​@@TwistedRagdollBECAUSE THE CLASSIC GAME WERE MADE IN THE 90s

[@magicalmerengue7025]

For me, Channel 0 is the key point. The rings fill me with joy!

[@Arasarcan]

Yeah! Channel 0 ist most often the part playing the iconic/recognisable part. That's why I like it when they put it in last to complete the symphony here. It all comes together in the end.

[@ambroseeck746]

Conditioned dopamine rush

[@Nyaalexi]

At 0:59, I just love how it uses the Ring chime sound, and it mixes in well with the music, so you barely notice it's there when you listen to the whole song.

[@Nyaalexi]

Also the bass sounds REALLY good in this song. I love it.

[@9s420]

Channel 1 is just a low pitched spring board omg mind blown-

[@sanicmaniac]

I even didn't notice that... so this song is literally made of springs and rings.

[@siyahseeker]

@@sanicmaniac It lives up to what's in the actual level. That's when you know the music is good when it matches the area you're in very well.

[@Baguenaudeur]

Every single time, in every single one of your videos, when the DAC starts I start jamming. It's probably some kind of universal law of nature or something.

[@frosif7751]

I'm blown away by how much sound is being used. I've never tried to compose music so this is so interesting to me

[@Jester-ZX]

Spring Yard Zone is my favorite song in sonic history

[@TheAutisticCapricorn811]

The rhythm-a-tic sensation to this dope tune just make me wanna C-Walk to it. It's just too catchy. The composer for the Sonic 1 game was a mad genius for comin' up with something this bouncy.

[@Baguenaudeur]

LOL I would love to actually see someone cwalk to this 😂

[@FriedMetroid]

Masato Nakamura of Dreams Come True

[@evanthegamingpocket6362]

This is an underrated zone with an underrated song that's the most jazziest, new jack song you've heard all day. The bass and DAC are quite simple but it highlights the upbeat, almost melancholy melody with undertones providing a unique and great piece. I like this song. P.S Pretty please Metropolis Zone Oscilloscope Deconstruction.

[@KazzyMac]

That bass do be slappin' hard tho. This was awesome to watch, btw. IDK why it just showed up in my recommendations. Hi future KZbin! I grew up on this game (still have my OG cart!) but seeing how the songs are put together like this is something else. :D

[@doyoueatpie4829]

It's so cool to see these little pieces combine to make one whole masterpiece

[@GregoryLTaylor]

I knew that this song used the same sound as the ring sound but I could never pinpoint it till now! lol

[@t.connerproductionsinc.8046]

Channel 1: Bass Channel 0: Soprano Channel 2: Alto Channel 3/4: Tenor

[@alextirrellRI]

Realized partway through that this song doesn't even use all the channels the sound chips are capable of.

[@RWL2012]

Green Hill Zone, Marble Zone, Labyrinth Zone, Star Light Zone, Scrap Brain Zone, Credits (9 channels used, out of 10): YM2612 - 5x FM & the DAC SN PSG - 2 square & the noise Spring Yard Zone (8 channels used, out of 10): YM2612 - 5x FM & the DAC SN PSG - 1 square & the noise Level complete (8 channels used, out of 10): YM2612 - 5x FM & the DAC SN PSG - 2 square Title screen, Invincibility (7 channels used, out of 10): YM2612 - 5x FM & the DAC SN PSG - the noise only Final Zone, Extra life, Game over (6 channels used, out of 10): YM2612 - 5x FM & the DAC SN PSG - disused! Ending - ??? (at least the 7-channel setup) I think that in Mega Drive mode only 3 of the 4 PSG channels can be accessed, so even though there are 10 channels, the maximum number that can be used is 9.

[@thegeth4293]

@@RWL2012 one channel of the 4 channel psg chip is a white noise generator, so really it only has 9 channels

[@geraldalexander8093]

There's so many songs that I've never really cared for until I heard them deconstructed, and now I can't get enough of them. Spring Yard, Oil Ocean, and Sandopolis are zones I've never thought I'd like, and now they're up there with my favorites, with Sandopolis Act 2 at the top.

[@Captainabrik]

PSG3 is usually pretty low-key but Spring Yard Zone is night and day different without it.

[@gaberichardson4663]

Yeah it be like that I love the og genesis/mega drive sound before they just used a fancy keyboard that makes my ears bleed

[@-TRIPLE_A-]

The sound of the drums in the DAC channel, when isolated like this, really do give away that Michael Jackson influence. Especially when combined with the bassline in channel 1!

[@SM-ok3sz]

MJ influence? Wut

[@jerelminter]

@@SM-ok3sz Michael Jackson was actually involved in composing the music for Sonic, but not this game or the second one. This was Masato Nakamura, MJ did the 3rd game but he was uncredited.

[@hamadhumaid1984]

​@@jerelminterit was Michael Jackson's request not to put his name on the credits because he wasn't satisfied with the quality of the music

[@jerelminter]

​@@hamadhumaid1984Oh yeah, that's exactly why he chose not to have his name in Sonic 3's credits.

Could you branch out to other series on the MD or maybe even other consoles😀

[@freakneak]

the oscilloscope can only do VGM, which is a retro soundfont used for video games. trying to deconstruct other music in the forms of mp3 would take the work of an individual instead of a machine.

[@TankMarko]

@@freakneak by other consoles i meant snes, famicom, c64 and other consoles with a soundchip, i know you cant deconstruct mp3 or wav files without actually having the project of the original piece.
